---Go to Elizabeth's Blog, it is very funny!!---
Dr. Sexson began the discussion of the Symposium by reading his prefered translation of the passage on page 27, about tally marks. Zeus took a coin and would part it in half and give it to his love. In these times, when your love would go to travel, it was likely that one would never nee them again, and if they ever did, there would have been 
great time that passed and therefore would look different. The idea was to each carry half of the coin, and when you found eachother again, you woud pul it out and know that you had found your real other half, the other tally!

Silenus Statue: if you were to break it open, you would find stuff inside!!! It is an extremly ugly statue; sator, fowl lips, lustfull glint in the eye. Great treasures found inside.
